I use Steele Rubber Products, very nice stuff. They can custom make you felts and sweeps too, so the clips are in their proper locations, send them yours and they'll make them up. No junk from these guys.

Hi, Thanks for your reply. Do I need to remove the vent window frame from the car to replace the channel run, or can I do it without remove the vent window from the car?

Hi, thanks for your help!! I got them out with no problem. GREAT, but I"m have a hard time sliding them back down in. Is there a trick to sliding the new felts back in place with the window in place? Thanks again for your help and time!!!!. Turk

Im guessing your talking the vent window framework is in the way of you getting felt clipped to your door? Try loosening the screw just below vent window latch, it will loosen the vertical frame. As for putting in rubber weatherstripping like trunk and roofrail, I use a bit of sunlight dish soap in channels, the rubber slides beautiful, oncesoap is dry it becomes sticky holding rubber nice.
